The Double Brooder

[Lizzy733]

When I saw this old parrot cage, I knew what needed to happen...

Top is dedicated to hatchlings with the 150 w caged ceramic bulb which I'll be putting on thermometers stat and bottom is dedicated to older chicks with a seedling heat mat under all that bedding.

As you can see, my 4 wk old turkey poults love their new bedroom!

Now, I'm really set up to chicken math!

Such a great idea, I wish I had one!

We just bought a place and it came with so much stuff! The cage was being used to dry out tobacco seeds.

That's awesome!
